"A house is a machine for living in". Le Corbusier....I am not a a big "fan" of Le Cobusier, but I guess it is impossible because is not a house, it is only a construction, perhaps beauty, the designer follow all the rules...but the important of a house is to be a home. And what becomes a house in a home...us. We have a fantastic houses to watch, to study but now are museums, a construction. And from the other side, walls, the house per sé is like a LP, it recorded all the memories, stories...but is not a home. We are designers, architects, or maybe like my father says...creators of dreams or nightmares.

Every house on every street is full of so many stories; so many triumphs and tragedies...but in past. I just remember this phrase of Bacon “Houses are built to live in, not to look on; therefore, let use be preferred before uniformity, except where both may be had” ... house needs people to become a home and I think is our work and responsability to make it happen :-)

Lebendiges Wohnen in der rechten Kopfhälfte; da wird Intuition, Gefühl, Kreativität, Spontaneität und Neugier gelebt! Ja und mit der Sprunghaftigkeit des Tanzes & der Musik erleben wir das Raumempfinden neu.

Living accommodation in the right half of the head, there is intuition, emotion, creativity, spontaneity, curiosity and lived! With the volatility of the dance and the music we enjoy the new sense of space.

Does a house dwell within us? Wohnt in uns ein Haus?
Many houses dwell within the hearts and minds of us all. They are the houses of our childhood, filled with giant-order furniture and inhabited by the colossal calves and ankles and ship-sized shoes of our mothers and grandmothers... where rich aromas of onions and soup on the stove mix with the sweet-stale smell of flowers on the dining table and hang in the air... where window sills were just barely within reach and doors stretched skywards towards cathedral-high ceilings... where window muntins cast long cross-shaped-shadows across dusty wooden floors and folded over our scattered toys.
Later those toys will become those of our children and the house that dwells within us is that into which our families are born into the world, out from the ether from which they came. The ceilings come downward to nearly within reach and the windows open out to the daily world of time in which we dwell. Mystery gives way to reality, one full of beauty and responsibilities and troubles of life and the house within us holds them all.
At night the house within us can become haunted by the uncertainties and fears that lay concealed in the daylight. Things unsaid, or unsayable, that can only be housed in our dreams. Fantasies can dance in the darkness breaking all the bounds of the world of weight and reason can become unleashed and our house within becomes unmoored from even our conscious selves.
As we grow old, so does the house within us. It may show the wear and tear of time and may seem quaint and out of date. But its rooms are packed to the rafters with the furniture and old photos and books of our lives. And when the lamp lights in its windows flicker-out, so do we.... and we return to the ether carrying within us the house of our story, the house of our being.

For some people it is impossible. My childhood was different. If I try to keep the houses were I lived...It is a personal point of view and my experience... House but not home...a lot of houses, only places to live months, a couple of years...
It is personal and I guess nobody have the answer because my truth is not your truth, in this case.

Does a house dwell within us? Wohnt in uns ein Haus? Une maison habite dans nous? OUI. We have 4 cats in our farm house. None has pedigree. One of them "Yuna" come back probably 2 months per year . The cat who stays us only 2 out of 12 months, can we still call her our cat? hoever, she does think it is "her" house. she probably keeps the image, smell, my voice or whatever of this place in her and when she finishes her mission in wild nature, her system says "go back to that house".i.e. this house dwells in her, I suppose.

Dear Mr. Stocker,
We live in a cell, consisting of many cells that reside in us and come to terms with each other. the house of the eye, the ear of the house, the house of the pancreas, etc. This house inhabited our house without our knowledge we are inhabited. dan we still inhabit thoughts, thoughts are the inhabitants of the sub-words that dwells in us, and the language of those we are accustomed to take possession without really living in it, because much of what is usual and is so common. then we have certainly kept - lives, be-lives of foreign words with no usual home Behausung.Welches still lives in us? The house of the divisible protozoa or the house of glittering fragments of architecture magazines who want to tell us how we are able to house us. How much is still our home and has not quite it deann Derrida's deconstruction of the usual character of the architectures. We must not only dsa home which perhaps is not our house and newly deciphered from the fragments of the symbols mean: THE HOUSE LIVES IN U.S.? As we proceed, we deconstruct the constructs of our usual and build new. What would Freud respond to this idea of what dwells within us and dwelling house, where is the protection of our soul, not to mention the architect soul and the soul of architecture, which has one? Which of the houses we lived in the longing?
Mr. Stocker and you live all the readers you are good at?! 1
Kind regards
Your Robert Thomsen

Yes, more and more houses are dwelling within us as time goes by, no longer bound to physical limitations like size or location, always there for us to dwell.
